Chapter 96 Can't beat them... Run...
A surge of emotion welled up in Kakuzu's heart. How come he didn't know this girl had become so bold? She was just like a newborn calf unafraid of a newborn calf.
At this moment, he was already thinking about how to run away with her.
He only joined the organization because he couldn't win. Since she doesn't want him to stay in the organization, then he should defect!
Lone Star launched a sneak attack and quickly retreated. The attraction and repulsion forces had a certain distance to them, and at this distance, they should not be able to reach her.
"Have it!"
She conjured a flying sword to test the waters.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Three more flying swords flew past without any surprise or delight.
While Pain was dodging, she condensed three more flying swords and shot them out.
One sword strikes from the front, one sword strikes from above, and one sword strikes from behind.
"Hehehe... Now let's see how you dodge."
A slight smile played on her lips, as if she had already foreseen Pain's fate.
Less than three seconds later, Lone Star's expression cracked. "This is impossible. How could he not be hurt at all?"
"She just wouldn't believe it." Lone Star conjured a gigantic flying sword, which was also covered with a bunch of 'explosive tags'.
With a whoosh, the flying sword pierced the sky and sped towards Pain.
"They won't stop until they hit the target. There are so many explosive tags. Let's see how you dodge them." Lone Star watched the show with his arms crossed.
Soon after, a series of explosions rang out.
She waved away the smoke in front of her, and suddenly a suction force came, causing her whole body to fly forward involuntarily.
"As expected of Pain, the Deva Path, he is not so easy to defeat."
With a slight twitch of her fingers, she conjured another flying sword and sent it hurtling towards the target.
"This is impossible!" Pain's eyes flashed with disbelief.
Released from the suction control, Lone Star quickly retreated to Kakuzu's side. "Uncle, this seems a bit difficult. Let's run now."
Kakuzu was genuinely surprised; this girl seemed to be quite strong.
Just as Lone Star and Horn were about to leave, they sensed something attacking from behind. She immediately drew her sword from her waist to block it.
"My sword!" Gu Xing looked at the black rod that she had cut into two pieces on the ground, with a nick on the blade, and felt extremely frustrated. "The sword she spent a lot of money to make is so crude and poorly made."
No sooner had she finished complaining than another suction force came, pulling her back towards Pain.
"This guy!" Gu Xing still had some spiritual power left in his body, enough to create a 'spiritual light protection' to cover his entire body.
As she approached Pain, she thrust her sword at him, but it only managed to tear his clothes.
"You've got something!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the 'spiritual light protecting him' had not yet dissipated, Lone Star attacked with his sword.
"How many black sticks are hidden here?!"
Seeing the sword develop more and more chips, she felt extremely frustrated and her attacks became even more ferocious.
Pain was even more frustrated at this moment. His ninjutsu was sometimes effective and sometimes not, which was very abnormal. This person's swordsmanship seemed to be unusual, and he was actually at a disadvantage.
"There's hope!" Lone Star's eyes lit up, and he thrust his sword back. At the same time, the 'Spiritual Light Protection' dissipated, and Pain released a ninjutsu that sent the man flying.
The ninjutsu suddenly took effect again, leaving Pain puzzled.
Lone Star was sent flying backwards. He quickly planted his sword in the ground, slid to his knees, and stopped.
"He failed at the crucial moment again. Without spiritual power, using ninjutsu to fight Pain is like throwing an egg against a rock."
"Besides, we can't beat them with ninjutsu."
"It seems this body is going to die today."
Sure enough, the next second, Lone Star's neck was tightly gripped, and her mask slipped off her face. A hint of amazement flashed in Pain's eyes, but he quickly concealed it, as if it had just been an illusion.
Lone Star paid no attention to this, turning his face away and still shouting, "If you're going to kill, then hurry up and do it."
These words left Pain somewhat bewildered. He suppressed his anger, "I'll do as you wish and join the Akatsuki, otherwise..."
"Stop! I'd rather die than join Akatsuki. Don't even think about it. I don't want to work for someone else!" Lone Star's temper flared up, and he spoke very aggressively.
"You..." Pain was momentarily speechless. The hand gripping her neck slowly tightened, and Lone Star suddenly felt a little short of breath.
Just when Lone Star thought he was going to die, his neck suddenly loosened, and he fell to the ground.
As she fell, she instinctively grabbed onto something, and coincidentally, Pain's clothes had been torn by her earlier. With a 'rip', she ripped off half of his upper garment.
"Great figure!" Gu Xing couldn't help but exclaim, then quickly covered his mouth, "He probably didn't hear me!"
She lay on the ground pretending to be dead. As soon as she closed her eyes and lay down, Pain's lips twitched.
"Kakuzu, I'll take her with me for a while."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the lone star from the ground and prepared to leave.
Lone Star opened his eyes and hurriedly shouted, "I'm not leaving, I want to stay with Uncle Kakuzu."
Pain ignored her words.
"Hey...can't you understand human language?"
"Put me down quickly."
Even if you take me away, I will not submit.
"Hey... You can leave, but at least get my mask back, it's made of gold."
Lone Star thought that Pain would still ignore her, but the next second the mask appeared in front of her.
"Don't think that she will give in just because you retrieved her mask."
"She holds grudges, so don't let me find your location, Nagato." Gu Xing muttered to himself as he took the mask, then looked up and saw the exposed chest. He quickly turned his head away.
"If you keep moving, I'll throw you out." A cold voice rang out.
"That's for the best. I have legs, I can walk by myself." Lone Star wasn't going to take this lying down and retorted directly, even if it meant death.
Pain took a deep breath to suppress his anger and prevent himself from throwing the person out.
"So tolerant!"
Lone Star was clearly not one to stay still; she slowly moved her hand upwards, but she didn't forget to restore her spiritual energy.
It is extremely slow for a spiritual clone to recover its spiritual power. Even if it meditates and absorbs it properly, it would take a whole day. In the current situation, it can only recover a tiny bit at most.
However, all she needs now is to regain the spiritual power to use her escape technique once more.
Suddenly, someone grabbed his hand. Gu Xing looked over in confusion, "What do you want now?"
"That's what I should be asking you! What are you doing, moving your hands around like that?!" Pain roared.
Lone Star tried hard to recall, a flash of embarrassment crossing his face, but he quickly recovered, his thick skin showing at this moment, "Who told you to dress like this on purpose? Besides, what's wrong with touching it? I feel like I'm the one who lost out."
"Is that so?" Pain laughed angrily. "Who exactly ruined his clothes like this?"
"Hey, you'd better stop laughing, it's kind of scary," she said weakly.
Pain coldly said, "Now you know fear?"
"I was just saying that, did you really think I was afraid of you!" Provoked like that, Gu Xing obviously forgot where he was. He tried to stand up, but his hand touched something he shouldn't have.
